Pretty wise, that's the generation before the 12HVPWR connectors started burning up.

Afaik the 2080was the last FE with a regular PCIe power connector.

Still running a 1080, between nvidia and windows 11 I think I'll stay where I am.

I have a 3080 also. It's only just starting to show it's age with some of these new UE5 games. A couple weeks ago discovered dlssg-to-fsr3 and honestly i'll take the little bit of latency for some smoother gameplay
